rheumatism a Blood Disease entirely cured
ROCHESTER,, April /, 1885.
To the Pardee Medicine Co.,

ROCHESTER,, April 1, 1885.
To the Pardee Medicine Co., -
GENTS Allow me to say a few words
in praise of DR.. Pardee's Rheumatic
Remedy; and if what I have to say will
induce others who are afflicted with neu-
ralgia or rheumatism to use it, I shall feel
that I have been the means of doing some
little good to my fellow men. December
~, 1885, while at work in the shop, I was
taken suddenly with sharp, piercing pains
and was compelled to leave the shop.
The next morning I was unable to rise,
and I grew worse daily although + was
under the best medical treatment. But I
obtained no relief until I began using
DR.. Pardee's Remedy, which I did March
18th, and after using it three days, I could
walk about the house. I continued to
use it and improved rapidly every day.
I am now at work and entirely free from
pain, and have gained five pounds in
weight, but I shall continue the remedy
until I feel sure the poison is out of my
blood, for I am certain that rheumatism
is a blood disease. You are at liberty to
use my lame or refer anyone to me, for I
shall be- only too glad to recommend it to
anyone who is suffering as I was. I know
it will cur any case Of rheumatism, if
used as directed. ri. s
I am, verv truly yours,

CHNCH BUGS.
Professor Forbes, state cntomologist
of Illinois, in q circular recently issued
gives a few points in regard to the
protection of crops from chinch bugs,
which will be of interest to Western
farmers. He says:
If the chinch bugs infest fields of
small grain this spring in numbers not
absolutely overwhelming, the broad
cast application of the quick, stimulating
fertilizers is earnestly recommended
This will not only support the wheat
against insect attack, but will also by
promoting the more luxurious growth
of the vegetation. supply conditions of
shade and moisture unfavorably to the
increase of the bugs. Experiments
will be made from this Office with the
following formula, and it is, also rec
commended, especia lily to the farmers of
southern Illinois, for trial: One, hundred
pounds each of nitrate of soda, super
phosphates, and muriate of sulphate Of
potash to be thoroughly mixed:and sown
at the rate of from $50 to 800 pounds
to the acre, the mixture costing from
So to $3.50 per hundred. Another fer
ti]izer worthy of trial is cheap salt, 100
to 200 pounds to the acre, costing less
than one cent a pound. Where corn
fields adjacent to small grain arc liable
10 invasion at harvest time, the early
entrance of the chinch bugs may prob
ably be prevented by sowing lime free
ly along the edge Of the field.
In his investigation, the Professor
has found large numbers of the bugs in
localities where much damage was done
last year, and if they succeed in breed
ing in the small grain this spring they
will occasion great loss. He also says
that the weather of winter and spring
has been favorable to them, and no serious
contagious disease or other natural
check upontheir multiplication has been
detected. @S.

FREE TRADERS.
Resolutions Adopted at q Convention
HeIdin Dcs Moines.

At State convention of free traders
and tariff reformers held in Des Moines
Jan. 9th, the committee on resolutions
submitted tho following report, which
was adopted:
The most pressing question in the
politics of the country is the question of
taxation.
The bounties bestowed upon one class
at the expense of another, promoting
wealth and luxury for the few at the ex-
pense and to the injury and oppression
of the many, are unjust and pernicious.
The national treasury is overlooking
with tax money gathered uneqally from
the people. The superabundance Of
revenue invites extravaganza, and stands
as q constant menace to the purity of our
politics. Combinations of monopolists,
themselves the creatures of the system,
crowd into and about our legislative as
semblies to secure distribution of spoils
extorted from our already over-burdened
and over-taxed people.
We therefore hold:
That a radical and immediate reform
is necessary.
Taxes should be reduced so as to yield
O revenue equal only to the needs Of the
that the burden of its support shall rest
of the country.
Free trade with the world as il exists
between the States is right which
should be interfered with as little as the
necessities of the government will per-
nit.
Recognizing the need of ample revenue
e.. Cd, ,nt~ Of he
government, we insist that the taxes on
spirits and tobacco be retained and that
only such import duties be levied as will
meet the actual requirements of the gov
eminent. Every protective feature
should be eliminated.
The reasonable demands of labor will
be best met by allowing laborers to OBJ.
tain the necessaries of life free from op'
pressive taxation and in opening the
markets of the world to their products.
The committee on nominations for q
state committee reported the following
names which were unanimously adopt
ed:
First district-Jacob Funk, Fairfield
Second district-G. M. Davis, Clinton.
Fifth district-Wm. Franks, Mon
trose.
Sixth district-D. w. Norris, Grinnell
Seventh district-O. Mosher, Perry.
Eighth DISTRICT. w. Weed, Prescott.
Ninth district-C. E. Anderson, Coun'
Gil Bluffs.
Tenth district-John Wallace, Algona.
Eleventh district-J. V. Ward, Chero'
kee.
A motion was put and carried author
izing the calling of another conference
within the present year. The chairman
of the state league. Mr.. o. Mosher was
declared ex.ollicio chairman Of the state
committee, after which the conference
adjourned.
